This paper advocates for robust regional research to gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific healthcare requirements of transgender populations, particularly in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), where empirical data is limited. It underscores the importance of acknowledging and mitigating gender minority stress, addressing the pervasive stigma surrounding transgender individuals, ensuring equal access to healthcare, reforming policies to protect the rights of transgender individuals, and promoting supportive community organizations. Through the adoption of these measures, ASEAN can move toward improving the pressing issue of transgender health disparities, thereby safeguarding the well-being of transgender individuals within their region.
本论文主张进行强有力的区域性研究,以全面了解 transgender 群体的特定医疗保健需求,特别是在实证数据有限的东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)地区。它强调了承认和缓解性别少数群体压力、解决围绕 transgender 个体的普遍污名化、确保平等获得医疗保健、改革政策以保护 transgender 个体权利以及促进支持性社区组织的重要性。通过采取这些措施,ASEAN 可以努力改善 transgender 健康差距这一紧迫问题,从而保障该地区 transgender 个体的福祉。
